Profile:
Well past his peak by the time India entered Test cricket, he was
charged with the responsibility of being their first captain, a
role he filled admirably. EW Swanton described him as "the side's
most cultured and dangerous player". Averaging over 40 with the
bat, as well as taking 65 wickets, he had a superb tour, and led
his side with confidence. He bowled a well-controlled slow
medium, with immaculate length and enough spin to beat the bat.
As a batsman, he favoured the front foot, his driving
particularly strong. He liked to loft the ball, and hit some notable sixes.
He vice-captained the 1936 touring side,
with less success, but still contributed important runs and
wickets. He made over 10,000 runs in his first class career which
spanned a remarkable 47 years (he appeared in a single first
class game at the age of 68). His career best innings was 200 in
the Ranji trophy, made in his 51st year. His son was a first
class cricketer, his brother CS Nayudu represented India, and he
was much involved in the administration of indian cricket as
selector and vice-president of the BCCI.
